Well first I’m 29 haha b. My mom did teach me right. She bought me to be respectful so obviously that means not staring at them of course. So it’s another instance of ok we look and then get yelled at for looking, not like we are biologically wired, or we don’t look and then get yelled at for not looking. Either way men lose
Not really because it’s what we like to call a double standard. Because a woman can sexually harass a man and no one says anything but flip the genders and everyone is up in arms. Fine I’ll use a different one. Women can objectify themselves if it’s to their benefit for example money. However, when men give into the objectification of the woman we are terrible. I can name more
Okay objectifying ourselves is not saying men can. Sure if you’re a stripper or purposefully doing it to build your career (Sabrina carpenter) you are showing you’re allowing it. But dressing cute for a night out does not mean I want men staring at me and feeling uncomfortable. I do think that a lot of celebrities including Sabrina and Sydnee Sweeney, do it way too much and make it seem like it’s a perfectly okay thing.
See but when women dress up when going out for a drink or even just day to day they are inviting attention. I know “I don’t dress for men! I dress for me!” Blah blah blah yeah we get it. You still shouldn’t be mad or shocked if you get some attention. There’s a reason make up, push up bras, and revealing clothes exist
I get specialized wearing any outfit because I have naturally big boobs. I would be wearing a baggy t shirt and still get sexualized. And not cause I’m “asking for it” I cant remove them when I want. Every man that meets me assumes that just because I have big boobs they have a right to see or touch them, even if they are covered. I want a breast reduction because of how unsafe men make me feel when they are constantly sexualizing me.
I’m a guy and I understand. I don’t know how it feels but I know There is a lot of fucking men out there that just suck and discard women’s privacy and just humanity to say the least. It kinda ruins it for men like me that just like to admire a woman’s beauty but yea staring at women is fucking WEIRD. But I’m not gonna lie, I take a glance - admire - and move on. It sucks you have to go through that and on behalf of the good guys - I’m sorry.
I’m really sorry you have to go through that. Not that this matters but I listen to a lot of true crime and some of the way certain men think is scary. And being a woman I literally couldn’t imagine the fear you must feel in a lot of scenarios. I have girl best friends and I’m so protective of them cause you honestly don’t know what a man is thinking or if he’s being nice or what. Kinda like how people assume we hook up just cause we have a close relationship? It’s always men lmfao
